MAYTAG MSS25C4MGZ Side-By-Side Refrigerator

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser pads have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings.
Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the both the refrigerator and freezer controls are still set to the “mid-setting.” This will be indicated with three illuminated bars.

IMPORTANT

  •  Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
    NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
  •  If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
  •  The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
  •  Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

TEMPERATURE SETPOINTS

  • When adjusting temperature set points, use the following chart as a guide.

The setpoint range for the refrigerator and freezer is “1 bar” (least cold) to “5 bars” (coldest).

Refrigerator Control:

  •  Press Refrigerator Temp to view the current setpoint for the refrigerator.
  •  Press Refrigerator Temp again to adjust the set point. The setting will increase by 1 bar with each press of the button, returning to 1 bar after reaching 5.
  • After 2 minutes of inactivity, any changes will be saved and the display will return to the home screen.

Freezer Control

  •  Press Freezer Temp to view the current setpoint for the freezer.
  •  Press Freezer Temp again to adjust the set point. The setting will increase by 1 bar with each press of the button, returning to 1 bar after reaching 5.
  • After 2 minutes of inactivity, any changes will be saved and the display will return to the home screen.

DISPENSER LIGHT

When you use the dispenser, the light will turn on automatically. If you want the light to be on continuously, press the Light button.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see online “Troubleshooting” for more information.

DISPENSER LOCK

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser lever. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section in the Owner’s Manual.

  •  Press and hold Lock for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
  •  Press and hold Lock a second time to unlock the dispenser. The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
